Broken Garage Door Spring? Don’t DIY—Call Us
This is not a weekend DIY project.
Garage door springs hold 250-500 pounds of tension. They’re coiled metal under tremendous force. If you slip, you break a hand. If you miscalculate, the spring launches. Springs kill people. Every year. Don’t be a statistic.
Milton and our crew handle spring replacement every day. We have the tools. We have the experience. We have the insurance.
You get your door working again safely and fast.
Torsion vs. Extension Springs—What’s Yours?
Your garage door uses one of two spring types. Understanding the difference helps you know what’s happening.
Torsion springs: These wrap around a shaft above your door. They’re tightly wound and hold enormous tension. When they break, your door falls hard. This is the most common type in modern homes.
Extension springs: These run along the sides of your door above the tracks. They stretch and contract as the door moves. When one breaks, the door tilts unevenly. Both are important.
Milton will assess which type you have and replace it correctly.
Why Spring Replacement Can’t Wait
A broken spring isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety and security issue.
Your garage door is now a hazard. It could fall on a car, a pet, or a person. Your home is less secure with it stuck open or locked shut. And you can’t use your garage until it’s fixed.
We prioritize spring replacements for same-day service whenever possible. Call early in the day for fastest response.
Our Spring Replacement Process
Here’s what happens when Milton arrives:
Diagnosis: We confirm the spring is broken and assess the overall door condition.
Safety first: We disable the automatic opener so the door can’t activate during work.
Support: We secure the door so it can’t fall while we work.
Replacement: We remove the broken spring and install a new one. If one spring is broken, we often replace both—they wear together, and the second one is probably next.
Test: We test the door thoroughly and ensure the opener works correctly.
Cleanup: We remove all debris and leave your garage clean.
